Lloyd C. V 1/48 Special Hobby
« on: March 02, 2014, 11:43:44 PM »
Hello!
Completing this model was my dream that came true - cause I`ve always wanted to have a Lloyd C. V on my shelf.
The kit I bought was almost finished - so I had to break it a little bit to make it my way. I`ve added some detail to the cockpit.
I have carved the laminated prop cause the one from the kit had the bad shape (I would do that anyway  ;) ). I`ve replaced the Parabellum gun with Schwarzlose I had from the other kit (added some details and changed the barrel). The anemometer is scratchbuilt. I have also replaced the Austro Daimler engine (the original one sits in my Hansa Brandenburg D.I model) adding some detail.
The woodgrain is painted with oil paints using the technique you all know.

The link for the under construction thread:  http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=2928.0

My model depicts a machine number 46.01 flown by Oberleutnant Roman Schmidt of Flik 13 on October 4 1917 he scored his third victory downing a Russian Sopwith flying this very plane.

Thanks for looking!

Some b&w photos first:











And in colour:

Superbly done & lovely to behold. The B&W photos are interesting, but it is much prettier in color imo.
